Hey friends of Thrive Community Church. The following verse stuck out to me in today's reading from the One Year Bible.
http://bible.us/116/MAT26.39.NLT "He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, "My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine." Matthew 26:39
The phrase that struck me was, "He went a little farther." I get a sense that there is more to this sentence than just a few extra steps. I think God is asking us all to go a little farther.... to press ourselves a little more in our pursuit of Him.
This Sunday as we gather for worship, can we go a little farther? Can we have a little more zeal? Can we have a little more expectation about what God is going to do?
My Prayer for Today : Lord, I pray that I would have the courage to take the next steps in my faith. By your Spirit, may I go a little farther in my devotions and my pursuit of you. Lead me and strengthen me along the way, I pray.
Amen
